Long story short, a guy at my company quit so I'm taking over his company vehicle. It's not pretty, but it'll get the job done. More importantly, now I don't have to drive my SHO in crappy weather and road salt. I just changed the oil. I'm also gonna add some stabil to the gas tank, and hook it up to a battery tender. Other than that, anyone have any other tips/suggestions for storing in a heated garage?  Thanks.

I add chalks to the tires so they don't get flat spots.

2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

make sure you have a full tank of gas in her,and start it up omce in a while to get those fluids circulating,my other car used to remove the ground from the battery due to the fact of the alarm draining it slowely.

The easiest best way to store you car is do nothing. Take it out every 2-3wks on nice days and drive it. No having to deal with flat spots in tires or keeping battery charged or any other issues that occur when cars are stored for long periods.
